What do we do for measurements for the Individualized MTO shirts? When I ordered, only fabric purchased was available.

@EP Dylan
 are those FC high sneakers going online soon?


Good timing! I just put them up in new arrivals about 10 minutes ago. Working on today's newsletter and then getting on a plane in 2 hours. Trying to keep it real!

1000


Mad real!


What's the approx price point on the shell sneakers? I think I missed that



Yeah, that is what I was thinking too. They are size 12 and it seems like the insoles are 11.5 or so. They don't slide right out, they seem glued in pretty good but I may have to consider trying to replace them.

@Epaulet Have you heard of insoles being short in other size 12s of these tennis trainers before?


I chose to have all of the insoles be removable, so they shouldn't be glued in at all. I wanted to sell these to guys who are into proper shoes and boots, so it was crucial to have whole-half sizing and also removable insoles for those who take orthotics.

We've sold quite a lot of these since last Summer and this hasn't cropped up anywhere else, but anything's possible. Someone had to place those insoles inside and they may have grabbed the wrong size. Even the best places will make an error from time to time. I'll actually be at the factory this week - let me see if I can bring back a spare set of 12 insoles and we'll see if that does it.

If you don't want to wait though, you can easily change those out for a pair of Dr. Scholls or so. We'll be happy to reimburse you for the cost of those.

For those of us who ordered EFF shirts without detail specifications, when should we expect to see the spreadsheet to fill out our information?

I'll set up a google form sheet where you can respond to all of the styling questions. Gimme a day or two and we'll hook that up.

If you can grab a spare set of 12 insoles that I could put in that would be awesome! Really appreciate that!

Mine are definitely glued down in at least one little spot, but it seems like I'll be able to pull them up easily enough so I don't think that will be a problem. I'll try some other insoles for now maybe, but if you can snag a set of 12s for me that would be fantastic as it's really a great insole...cushy but with that nice leather top sheet, love them.

Damn those are amazing! I know I asked you before and you recommended taking the same size as Nike Dunks (11.5 for me), but reading the sizing section makes me want to order a 10 (9UK Carminas fit me great). As those are two very different sizes, any advice?

@Epaulet

Are you going to be getting restocks of the tennis trainer low in white in the near future? Looking to purchase a pair

Thanks!

And whoa, that's a huge difference. What last are you wearing in 9UK?

Rain last. And that's 11.5US for the Nike Dunks in case that wasn't clear.


Hmmm. I haven't worn many Dunks, but I would take a half size over my true dress shoe size. So for me: 8.5 Carmina Rain, 9.5 TTS Dress Shoe and EPLA Trainers, 10 Dunk.

I'm thinking that you probably wear dress shoes more fitted than sneakers, which is pretty common. I'd guess a 10.5 in these just to split the difference a bit.

Upper: Cognac Alpine Grain with glove leather liner

a bit off-topic but still EP related.

The store across from EP's Manhattan location is highly recommended for all things jean related right? I basically need to cut some length and and hem the jeans. What's the place called?
